ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of the
sanvito
group in having a distinct ventral slit at the embolus (figs. 14, 15). They differ from all those species, except
P. lucha
and
P. mirante
,
in lacking a median protrusion at the embolus (figs. 12, 13, 71). They differ from
P.lucha
in having the embolus and conductor well separated, and from
P. mirante
in having a sharply pointed conductor tip (rather than broadly rounded). Females differ from others, except those of
P. bilzi
,
in having a relatively small, subspherical posterior genitalic process without distinct duct (with distinct duct in
P. lerida
). They differ from those of
P. bilzi
in having spoon-shaped glands attached to the posterior genitalic process (figs. 45, 82, 84), and only a few short filiform glands at the base of the anterior genitalic process (fig. 83; rather than numerous and long).
MALE (PBI_OON 10646, figs. 1–30, 61–72): Total length 1.41. Leg spination: tibiae: I v4-2- 2; II v4-2-1p; metatarsi: I v2-2-2; II v3-2-2. Sperm pore subcircular. Embolus broad, tube shaped, longitudinally folded, distinct ventral slit with prolateral opening, tip narrowed, elongated, embolus opening oval, distoretrolaterally with small bifid plate; conductor narrow lamelliform, elongated, simply pointed, almost as long as embolus.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 10646, figs. 31–60, 73–84): Total length 1.69. Leg spination: tibiae: I p1-1-0, v4-2-2, r1-0-0; II v4-2-2; IV p0-1-0, v0-0-2, r0-1-0; metatarsi: I p1-0-0, v2-2-2; II p0-1-0, v3-2-2; IV p0-1-0. Median protruding part of large genital plate wider than long; anterior genitalic process narrowly stalked, distinctly enlarged apex; posterior genitalic process subspherical, relatively small, without remarkable duct, weakly sclerotized, distally with spoon-shaped glands.
